Eucrites
      The Eucrites are named for a Greek word meaning "easily
      distinguished". Representing the most common class of achondrites,
      more than 100 eucrites are known, excluding all probable pairings.
      Although they are easily distinguished from chondrites, they closely
      resemble terrestrial basalts. Actually, eucrites are extraterrestrial
      basalts, volcanic rocks of magmatic origin, representing the crust of
      their parent body, Vesta. They are primarily composed of the calcium-poor
      pyroxene, pigeonite, and the calcium-rich plagioclase, anorthite.
      Additionally, eucrites often contain accessory minerals such as silica,
      chromite, troilite, and nickel-iron metal. Based on mineralogical and
      chemical differences, the eucrites have been further divided into three
      distinct subgroups: the non-cumulate group, the cumulate
      group, and the polymict group.
